Zelda Williams on Coping With Father Robin Williams’ Death: “I Didn’t See Daylight for a While" - Closer Weekly

Zelda Williams is getting candid about how she’s coped with her father Robin Williams‘ death — and revealed she took things day-by-day immediately after the star’s tragic 2014 suicide.

“I just kept going, ‘OK, well today I’m going to wake up and love what I do. And then tomorrow I’m going to wake up and be happy and love what I do. And then the next day.’ Because that’s all you can do,” the 27-year-old actress said during a recent appearance on Chelsea Handler‘s new Netflix talk show, Chelsea.

“I didn’t see daylight for awhile. So now I’m doing a lot more of that. I’ve been working really hard and it’s been nice because you get to not sit with yourself for too long,” she added, according to People.
